(Error-free novel) Contrary to countless predictions, the Holy Church was not powerful enough to swiftly and decisively defeat the Dragon Clan, nor did it achieve final victory in this war. The exact outcome remains uncertain, as for the ten days since the war began, the Mediterranean Sea and Sicily Island have been completely blockaded by tens of thousands of dragons, making it impossible for outsiders to enter. Only the constant bursts of terrifying energy fluctuations seem to indicate that the battle is still raging.
The Holy Church has been attacked for the first time in a thousand years.
There was no need for a formal call to arms; for the priests, knights, and fanatical followers of the Azeroth Continent, the true battle had begun. The Southern Region Diocese, Western Region Diocese, Northern Region Diocese, and Eastern Region Diocese all issued immediate calls to battle, and the holy legions and priests of each diocese rushed to the Central Region to support the war in Sicily Island.
The Holy Church, with its absolute authority and exclusion of dissent, had no one who dared to criticize it. As expected, the Dragon Clan was immediately judged as evil creatures.
A frenzy of destroying dragon statues swept across the entire continent. Several empires that worshipped Dragon Clan as totems were even annihilated overnight by the fanatical Holy Church knightly legions, and countless innocent people became the victims of this war.
This sudden war completely changed the situation across the entire continent.
In the Southern Region, the Southern Region Diocese diverted over 80% of its forces to the Central Region to support Sicily Island, significantly weakening Human Clan's high-level strength. Without the assistance of the divine masters, human casualties continued to mount. Furthermore, the alliance between the Bayern Munich Empire and other empires like Leverkusen and Dortmund was superficial, with neither side committing their full strength. Therefore, humanity gradually lost its advantage in the battle against the Goblin Clan and became unable to launch a threatening counterattack.
At this very moment, something even worse happened to the Human Clan.
Almost simultaneously, a shocking piece of news spread: Dwarf Clan and Gnome Clan had been discovered in the vast, volcanic, and mineral-rich Flame Mountain Range of the Eastern Region of the Continent.
Dwarves and gnomes were among the major vassal races of the ancient era of gods and demons, possessing formidable combat power. The Dwarf Clan, in particular, were born warriors, regardless of gender, possessing unparalleled comprehension of Dou Qi and innate superhuman strength, in addition to their exceptional abilities in forging and smelting. While the Gnome Clan were physically weaker, they possessed intelligence comparable to goblins, and their talent in alchemy and magic was so great that even dragons would give them a wide berth.
The appearance of these two races in the Flame Mountain Range of the Eastern Region is a phenomenon that should raise alarm among the major empires of the Eastern Region, especially given the background of the goblins and dragons actively attacking humans. Human Clan instinctively harbor rejection and hostility towards any alien race. The Chelsea Empire, Liverpool Empire, Arsenal Empire, Manchester United Empire, and other top powers in the Eastern Region immediately deployed troops around the Flame Mountain Range to guard against attacks from the Dwarf Clan and Gnome Clan.
It was at this time that another astonishing piece of news emerged.
In the Western Region of the Continent, another powerful race from the ancient era of gods and demons— the Elf Clan —appeared in the primeval forests on the westernmost edge.
The Elf Clan, with their unparalleled magical talent, assassination skills, and unparalleled archery, left an indelible mark on the ancient era of gods and demons. This race possesses a strong sense of moral and physical purity, favored by the Creator, naturally exceptionally beautiful, and blessed with long lifespans. An ordinary Elf Clan warrior is said to live up to five hundred years; the power of the elven priests and kings, who wield eternal strength, is even more terrifying.
Their long lifespan has endowed this race with formidable strength. Like dragons, if the Elf Clan weren't less prolific than Human Clan and beastmen, they might very well have become a powerful race on par with the God Clan and Demon Clan.
With such events occurring one after another, the early spring weather was rather cold for the Human Clan.
This situation is like a pig that has monopolized a pigpen for a long time, and suddenly, several cows, sheep, and a flock of chickens and ducks come to share the pigpen. In order to claim the feeding trough and the dry ground to sleep on, a war is bound to break out between the different livestock.
The only good news amidst the bad news for the Human Clan is that the orc race, the most terrifying race in the ancient era of the Orc Clan and demons, second only to the Dragon Clan in combat power and possessing unparalleled reproductive abilities, has not yet appeared. Humanity does not yet have to face this powerful race, whose reproductive capacity surpasses their own and who is extremely warlike.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
It's hard to believe that the war in Sicily Island is still ongoing.
The Dragon Clan and the Holy Church, two powerful forces, were locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to back down, and neither showing any inclination to sit down and negotiate.
Reports from all sides have gradually confirmed that in the past two months, the Holy Church has suffered hundreds of thousands of deaths among its divine masters and knights, thousands of experts at the Moon Class level and above, fifty-six Great Sun-Rank Venerable, eleven high-ranking bishops, and twenty-one popes from its branches—a loss that can be described as the most devastating in a millennium.
The Dragon Clan fared no better. Over a thousand ordinary Dragon Clan perished, along with a hundred Dragon Clan, and even two supreme beings at the King Class fell—an equally unbearable loss for the Dragon Clan with such limited reproductive capabilities.
At this moment, almost every emperor of every human empire across the entire continent was secretly hoping for a stroke of luck.
Fortunately, the Dragon Clan, for some unknown reason, went mad and chose the Holy Church, this behemoth, as their initial target. Otherwise, any other ninth-level empire would likely have been reduced to ashes by their dragon breath.
Meanwhile, good news also came from the other side.
After some brief communication, the dwarves, gnomes, and Elf Clan seemed to have no intention of waging war against the Human Clan. Having witnessed the madness of the goblins and Dragon Clan, humanity no longer dared to underestimate the power of these powerful vassal races of the ancient gods and demons. To preserve their own strength, the major empires wisely made concessions. The alliance of the Eastern Region Empires announced the 'ceding' of the Flame Mountain Range, which occupied almost a third of the Eastern Region, to the dwarves and gnomes—in fact, this mountainous region, filled with active volcanoes and various ferocious magical beasts, was essentially devoid of any human empires.
